What do you think of the name Anthem (nn: Ant)?
My favourite girls name is a word name and also a noun and I’ve struggled to find a boys name that fits and I love just as much, but this comes close.
Usable?
First name, or middle name only?
What middles would you pair with a name like Anthem?
My only combo so far is Anthem [name_u]Rex[/name_u]!
I sorta love this name… never heard it before. But i like it!
Some other combos could be:
Anthem [name_u]Nico[/name_u]
Anthem [name_m]Tuck[/name_m]
Anthem [name_u]Ray[/name_u]
Anthem [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
Anthem [name_m]Quill[/name_m]
Anthem [name_u]Emery[/name_u] *love this one!
Anthem [name_m]Raiden[/name_m]
Anthem [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
Anthem [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
Anthem [name_u]Dallas[/name_u]
Anthem [name_f]East[/name_f]
Anthem [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
Anthem [name_m]Rocky[/name_m]
These are ALL over the board, but I hope a few hit the spot for ya (:
I especially like middles that start with a vowel on this name.
Sounds silly.
I prefer names that transcend specific imagery and this name seems to only fit the 6 year old of an aging rock star.
I can’t imagine a business man, a grandpa, or a doctor named this.
Honestly, I can’t see anyone named this. I’m sorry, I really am!!! If your after NN ant how about [name_m]Antony[/name_m] ?
I think this is really cool… if [name_u]Harmony[/name_u], [name_f]Melody[/name_f], Song, [name_u]Rhythm[/name_u] etc can be names then I don’t see why this can’t be. Plus it is a bit more edgy and rocky 
I think a short middle would go with it… Anthem [name_u]Rex[/name_u] is cool… how about:
Anthem [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
Anthem [name_m]Milo[/name_m]
Anthem [name_u]James[/name_u]
Anthem [name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
Anthem [name_u]Sky[/name_u]
Anthem [name_u]Chase[/name_u]
Anthem [name_m]Clay[/name_m]
Anthem [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
Would you mind if I put it on my list?
I love Anthem [name_u]Ray[/name_u], it would be a great way to honour my grandfather! I think I agree with you that ‘E’ middle names have a nice ring to them after Anthem. Am liking Anthem [name_u]Emery[/name_u] and Anthem [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]. I’d add Anthem [name_u]Everett[/name_u] too! Anthem [name_f]East[/name_f] won’t work unfortunately, my SO’s surname includes the word [name_u]West[/name_u]!!
Of course you can put it on your list!
I totally agree with you. All word names start out sounding ‘weird’ to people until people start meeting children with the names and they become more familiar to everyone. I think it has a familiar sound to [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] so it’s not too far fetched to me.
[name_u]Gray[/name_u], [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] are some of my favourite boys names - I’m not sure I’m ready to relegate them to the middle spot forever haha!
I love the way something traditional like [name_u]James[/name_u] grounds a word name like Anthem, so I think Anthem [name_u]James[/name_u] is lovely.
I can’t see this as a name and definitely not with [name_u]Rex[/name_u]. Anthem [name_m]King[/name_m]? If you’re going to use it then I’d recommend an actual name as a middle name.
Thanks, I appreciate it’s not for everyone.
I don’t disagree with you about having a more traditional name in the middle to balance it out which is why I’m thinking Anthem [name_u]James[/name_u] or Anthem [name_m]John[/name_m] would be a bit more balanced. 
Thanks, I would have it in a middle position as I don’t think it works too well with [name_m]Zeke[/name_m].
For some reason I find I prefer it with longer names when in the middle spot, and seeing as you asked about that too…
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] Anthem
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] Anthem
[name_m]Forester[/name_m] Anthem
[name_m]Fitzgerald[/name_m] Anthem
[name_m]Finbar[/name_m] Anthem
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] Anthem
I agree about Anthem [name_u]James[/name_u] - that was probably my favourite of my suggestions
